I always hear pretty mixed review about this foundation, but has always been my favourite foundation. My skin type tends to be a bit temperamental so sometimes it's oily (in which case this foundation is PERFECT), normal (still perfect) or dry (not as perfect, but still looks nice if I moisturise first) - I am able to use this foundation whenever. Love it. The colour I had matches my skin perfectly and I love the matte finish (because who likes a shiny face?). Now I have left my Studio Fix comfort zone and tried other (cheaper) foundations, but this will always be my favourite.

Holy grail foundation! I wear this on nights out as it is very high coverage and long wearing. It is thick but dosnt feel heavy on the skin. I had to buy the pump separately which I thought was a bit annoying as its already a high priced foundation but the pump is great to avoid mess and pouring out too much foundation. I have re-purchased studio Fix a few times and will definitely continuing using this product.
Tips: Dont buy the SPF version for nights due to photo flash back. Get shade matched at a store for your perfect colour. Buy a pump as it does not come with it.
I adventure out and use other foundations but nothing makes me happier than my mac studi fix fluid in the shade NC35 :) its the perfect shade for me covers most of my blemishes and i love a matte finish. I find it easy to blend and great to work with and matching it with my pro long wear concealer just makes a beautiful match made in mac heaven.
I use this foundation regularly when doing my own makeup for photoshoots. I love how smooth and flawless my skin looks, and the colour-match is perfect for my tone.
Tips: I use a stipple or buffer/Kabuki brush to apply my foundation to get a buffed/airbrushed finish, followed by a HD powder on areas prone to shine. <3
Love this foundation, really full coverage, Covered my rosacea with ease. Skin looked absolutely perfect, even my freckles didnt show through. One thing i didnt like about this was its quite thick, feels heavy on the face and unfortunately can look a little bit cakey if not blended properly, I found it needed to be blended basically straight away as it sets pretty fast, but i love that once it sets it will not budge until you remove it with wipes or facial cleanser. Amazing staying power and coverage, doesnt get that yucky foundation smell that foundations sometimes get after a few hours wear aswell.
This foundation started off being the bane of my life. I first tried it at duty free and bought it in a rush. The shade was totally wrong and I had TWO bottles. I continued to use it until I went to another counter and found a better match. Since then I have loved it, it isn't the best when my skin is drier.I love the natural matte looking finish. And the staying power is incredible, I haven't found it settling in creases or becoming patchy throughout the day.
Tips: Use a beauty blender or foundation brush to apply this product for best results.
I really did like this foundation, it glided on quite easy & also was a great full coverage so it did say everything it would do. I haven't used this product in awhile as it is quite pricey and can't always afford it, but if I did have the money I would always buy this foundation by far my favorite! Best thing to do it to use a beauty blender to blend it in good as it can make you look a bit cakey. But overall I would recommend this to anyone!
This foundation is worth the money ! With this foundation a little goes a long way, i have found because of this it lasts a lot longer than any pharmacy foundation i have ever tried, so it really isn't anymore expensive. This foundation has great coverage and an amazing matte finish ! This will always be my go to foundation !
This was the first high-end foundation I ever bought (the start of an expensive addiction) and even today it still remains one of my favourites. I love the coverage level, it's medium-to-full but is sooo easy to build. I was quite a beginner when I first used this, but I found it easy to build and blend.
A little seems to go a long way for me, and it has pretty great staying power - without making your face look too matte or flat - which some long-wearing foundations can do.
My only wish was that MAC didn't charge extra for a pump! Would have loved one with this but I don't want to fork out an extra $10-15.
Tips: Applies amazingly with a flat-top foundation brush! I dab a bit onto a flat plastic surface (e.g. a compact lid) and work with my brush from that. I stipple it on then use circular motions to buff it out when my face is all covered.
Amazing coverage. However it is very thick. I found that I needed to blend this product in well. Has a matte finish. Definitely worth the $60. The only downside is that it does't come with a pump, so I feel like I've wasted a lot of product. However it has lasted me a very long time! I would repurchase again however there are other foundations I would like to try. But this foundation is amazing.
